If you’ve ever wondered what happens when biker gangs collide with clip art margaritas, wonder no more. Alice & Meg Summer Vacation is here to answer the question nobody asked: “What if Sons of Anarchy was redesigned by a teenager playing with Microsoft Paint and a sticker sheet from Dollar Tree?”
Let’s start with the title font — a rainbow gradient fever dream that looks like it escaped from a forgotten MySpace page. Paired with the subtitle in “default wedding invite chic,” the whole thing radiates the energy of a last-minute PowerPoint slide. Nothing says MC crossover grit like bubblegum fonts that look better suited for a sixth grader’s unicorn diary.
And then there’s the artwork. Our heroines are not so much illustrated as they are paper dolls from a failed mobile app. One sports ripped jeans with a random turtle tattoo slapped on her thigh (why? because stock vector libraries must be used, that’s why). The other rocks hot pink shorts so loud they could be classified as an auditory weapon. Both stare blankly forward, daring you to question their anatomy, or the lack thereof.
Finally, the pièce de résistance: the background. A repeating nightmare of doodled suns and martini glasses that scream “Girls’ Night Out napkin set, Party City aisle three.” Nothing here says “dangerous biker world.” Instead, it’s an aesthetic mash-up of fridge art and scrapbooking hell, all wrapped up in the promise of a book that will absolutely not deliver what the cover pretends it is.
Verdict: This cover is less “MC crossover” and more “Pinterest board gone feral.” Winter Travers, I salute your confidence — because it takes real bravery to put this out into the world.
